Haiku: Two Along Geneva Creek

Geneva Creek

 

the narrows stream flows
racing ranting raging rush
kisses frozen earth

The Narrows

 

mountain snow golden
Geneva shooting arrows
wing flutter stirs hearts

Surrender

“This one is an experiment, I was just letting my mind free fall in the wind.”

Man surrender- -heated emotion’s
flash of lightning fire sparks
your eyes- -whispering secrets
you hide away- -I’ve never seen
a heart so guarded- -the locks have locks
bitter combinations and keys
swallowed with water
even Earth gives up treasure
now and then- -surrender the flame
it grows wild- -surrender

Tender fruit withers quickly- -a
delicacy should be reveled in
surrender- -share the fire- -gently
I’ll warm my heart in you
surrender- – savor sweet kisses

Love Notes

Afloat
a flat bottom boat
silent, but for your breathing
– -a slow rhythmic tune
playing love notes
in my heart
echoing gentle kisses
in the chamber
your eyes my looking-glass
for love

Poseidon’s Kisses

Tide swell erases
words in sand- –
washing songs from shells- –
foam licks our legs,
Poseidon’s moonlight drenched kisses.
We swim with stars at our feet
diving in
to one another,
trying to save the last pearl
from ever being found
by the wrong hand.
Long days of summer gone
we package our love
in seaweed
and color it farewell.

Orange Moon

Fire’s kiss
bends twilight shadows
morphing imagination’s
mingled thoughts
to beauty.
Orange moon rises
ever higher- -a neon balloon
uncontrolled, taking away
my quaking breath- -showing
night tide’s beauty,
sewing autumn stitches- –
a quilt of comfort
for broken dreams.- –
My soul grows
in the wake of you.
The moon forgets- –
I forgive, harvest comes
creeping bold flame kisses- –

I love you.
